Disc burner suddenly not reading bluray discs

Post by rykr01 » Fri Apr 02, 2021 9:04 pm

I have an LG WH16NS40 that I have ripped hundreds of blurays with over the last couple of years. Literally did one yesterday. Now today I just get "no disc". I've tried on a Windows computer and two Macs. All the same. DVDs work fine. I have updated to the latest firmware (1.05) to no avail.

Anyone got any idea what may be wrong?

Take the drive apart it very easy just eject the tray and 4 screws
